about
Based in Vancouver, Canada, is a collaborative design and production studio led by Stephanie Forsythe and Todd MacAllen.
Dedicated to an exploration of space making in combination with experiments in manufacturing, materials and structure, the molo studio explores the overlapping realms of art, architecture and design, creating projects as diverse as a museum in Japan, a modular wall system and a tea set.
molo products grow from Forsythe and MacAllen’s architectural explorations. Inspired by the idea that smaller tactile objects have a real potency in the physical experience of space and place. Working back and forth between the intimate scale of furniture and small utilitarian objects, to the larger scale of buildings and landscapes, heightens the sense of human dimensions and physical experience in architecture and brings the perspective of thinking in the larger context of place and space making when creating a smaller object. Recognized for poetic beauty and pragmatic innovation, Forsythe + MacAllen’s products and buildings have received numerous international awards and have been acquired into the collections of museums and galleries worldwide including the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York.
